If you can find fault with Mr. Silver's analysis, which is based on the notoriously liberal lie that is....uh...comparing pre-election polls with actual observed election results....then your argument basically boils down to "NUH UH, THE NEW YORK TIMES SAID IT SO NUH UH!"

Not to mention - is Gallup and CNN also biased to the right?
Perhaps you'd like a Zogby poll better? Their latest has 58% saying the nations is going the wrong way....
(This link won't last - its their "latest" poll - so you may have to search the site for it soon)

I could go on and on ....
Got any polls that show Americans overwhelmingly love the healthcare debacle, soaring debt, amnesty, or high gas prices due to a lack of domestic energy production????
Yea... I thouht not...
Well, you can probably find a blogger or two that might like it... that has to count, right?  |
Whine and snark all you want, so long as you strive to use accurate sources to back up your statements. Rasmussen polls are not that source.
Also, you can pull the same knee jerk argument that is "NUH UH THE NEW YORK TIMES SAID IT, SO NUH UH!" as August did, but realize it only makes you look intellectually lazy. If you can find the partisan spin in "hey Rasumussen said the election would be this way, but it actually turned out to be this way, so Rasmussen was off by X%" then I'd love to hear it.
As you said - Yeah, I thought not.
In conclusion, if you use Rasmussen to back up your statements, then your evidence is not evidence at all.
